Some people in the United States who are retired will soon start getting Social Security benefits. On August 28, 2024, a check or direct payment will be sent. This money will only go to people who meet all the requirements.
For instance, the birthday requirement is a must. People who were born between January 21 and December 31, 1965, and did not start getting Social Security before May 1997 and are not getting SSI may get their retirement benefit payment.
How much money can Social Security recipients aged 62-70 get on August 28?
How much money someone can get after you die will rest on a number of things, including:
- the age at which they applied for retirement benefits
- the earnings they had as a worker
- the taxes paid to Social Security
- the number of years they worked for
All of these things can change the amount of money you get paid. For example, on August 28, 2024, you can get up to $4,873 if you worked for 35 years, paid taxes at places that paid social security benefits, and filed for Social Security at age 70. Up to $2,710 if you are 62 years old, and up to $3,822 if you are 66 years and 8 months old.
Social Security payments for seniors aged 62-70 in September
In September, the most that can be paid for these things will stay the same. The average amounts might be a little higher. In fact, they’ve gone up from $1,908 in January 2024 to about $1,919 now.
The Social Security payments for retirees aged 62-70 will be due on:
- September 3: if receiving SSI and retirement benefits or if you started getting payments before May 1997
- September 11: not eligible for Sep. 3 and your birthday is from 1-10.
- September 18: not eligible for Sep. 3 and your birthday is from 11-20.
- September 25: not eligible for Sep. 3 and your birthday is from 21-31.
The September Supplemental Security Income check is not going to be due on the first. In fact, Social Security had to move it to August 30. These things happen because SSI can’t be sent on Sundays, so they are sent early the day before.
